I’m a big fan of that acacia ladder-shelf for its slim 70×85 cm footprint and solid, weather-resistant feel - it’s perfect for narrow balconies, covered patios or a light-filled conservatory. The warm grain complements Scandi, boho or Mediterranean palettes, and you can style it by mixing potted herbs, succulents and outdoor-safe ceramics, grouping items by height for eye-catching balance. Reserve the top tier for trailing plants, tuck a lantern or two on the lower shelf and keep the whole unit under cover or treated with oil to preserve the wood.
